Unless we take massive steps to reduce our plastic pollution from production to consumption, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050. Trash islands are already occupying large swaths of sea in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean and growing daily.
Producing single-use plastics requires mega amounts of fossil fuels, which pollute the atmosphere and fuel climate change. After their use, plastics continue to wreak havoc on the environment, posing a serious threat to ecosystems, marine creatures, and human livelihoods.
Plastic pollution also puts hundreds of marine animal species in harm’s way. But ocean creatures are not the only ones at risk of being harmed by or consuming plastic waste — humans also unknowingly digest microplastics, which have been found in table salt and poop and can cause serious health conditions..
The fight against plastic waste starts with each person’s actions.
These are some simple steps to seriously reduce your plastic use right now.
1. Carry Reusable Shopping Bags
2. Drink Your Coffee From a Reusable Cup
3. Avoid Bottled Water
4. Steer Clear of Plastic Straws (If You’re Able)
5. Switch to Plastic-Free Chewing Gum
6. Shop at a Farmers Market
7. Swap Out Bottles for Bars
8. Avoid Buying Clothes Made With Plastic
9. Compost Food Waste
10. Stop Smoking — or At Least Use a Refillable Lighter
